Six Gaming Companies that Made Both DC & Marvel Video Games

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, today I will take on a topic that kinda goes under the radar. Either due to lack of interest or not knowing how to go about it in general. I am talking about six gaming companies that made both DC & Marvel video games. I will start with the fewest in numbers up to the most. I am not saying all of these are worth your time because a good number of them aren't worth your time. I am making this purely for fun & those interested in knowing which game companies. Don't worry I will make sure to label all games in two groups per a developer or publisher that owned a lot of teams.

5. Telltale
Most recent developers to join a rare rank among licensed games. Telltale recently made Batman: The Telltale Series a few months back. Now they're currently doing Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series. Mostly being original stories with some references to their source material.

DC
Batman: The Telltale Series

Marvel
Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series

4. Traveller's Tales
Traveller's Tales made Lego Batman trilogy with majority of it holding up incredibly well. More recently they came back with Lego Marvel Super Heroes. Not too long following it, Traveller's Tales released Lego Marvel's Avengers loosely based on several movies.

DC
Lego Batman
Lego Batman 2
Lego Batman 3

Marvel
Lego Marvel Super Heroes
Lego Marvel's Avengers

3. Konami
Konami made two games based on Batman Returns for SNES & NES respectively. They also made The Adventures of Batman & Robin on SNES. Not too long after some of these games, Konami released X-Men for arcades. Possibly one of their best licensed games ever made.

2. Atari
Atari kicked things off with Superman & Spider-Man on Atari 2600. Most haven't heard some of their later DC games like Batman Returns on Atari Lynx or Batman for arcades. Probably the most unplayable group out of the entire list of games. I still respect Atari's take on some of these.

DC
Superman (Atari 2600)
Batman Returns (Atari Lynx)
Batman (Arcade)

Marvel
Spider-Man (Atari 2600)

2. Acclaim
Acclaim had a reputation for getting so many games on as many platforms as possible. Probably the most mixed group on this list. I'm sure even a child can find something they like here. A good number of them I would avoid. Those that do stand out for being great keep those close to you.

1. Sega & Acclaim
I bet no body saw this coming by just one game Sega won. Who would ever guess Sega made & published the most games from both comic book companies? There are plenty of games to pick from for most gamers even among bad games.
